That’s an absolute shambles by the way. Can’t afford to lose any money at the moment and running out of bovril is criminal for a football stadium. It’s not like pies where you have to make an order based on predicted sales to reduce waste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means slaughter the club when it is justified. The kiosks are contracted out and they pay the club a fee each season. If the kiosks run out of anything it is them who lose out not the club.

I think the catering company pay the club to use the kiosks. Club gets a flat fee, makes no difference to us financially how many pies they sell, maybe when the current contract expires the club should look to operate everything in house going forward however.

Guess it depends how much they pay however doesn’t sound like a great deal as you’d want to be in control of anything that can increase revenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Celtic would give us an absolute hiding which would potentially impact morale, I don’t think Rangers are capable of thrashing anyone. 2. I’m pretty sure Rangers pull bigger attendances for the earlier stages of the cups than Celtic so we’d make more money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 2 hours ago, AGPar said: We're a better team than last season (the lowest of low bars) with a better management team but the same old pattern of flat-track bullying dross whilst dropping points all over the place against any team who do not fit into that categorisation is still far too prevalent to date. We are just nowhere near convincing enough. Big reaction and a win needed at Palmerston on Saturday, a ground we've struggled at plenty of times in recent years. Agreed with all of your post, and picked out this bit about us being out-fought/out-muscled if a team gets in our face - ie Airdrie Kelty Montrose 1st half last week. McGuffie Oliver & Nesbit are way too lightweight, Hetherington is too slow, Morrison isn't a tackler either. Yesterday we looked utterly feeble first half, losing 40-60's never mind the 50-50's... Yeats should be back in midfield as many have said, how about Mackie playing in there as well - a couple of guys that can put a decent bit of much needed dig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let someone else do it and we will take a return, but a lot lower return than if we put in some effort and did it ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid teams in our own league or shitey away days at teams liable to pump us. I didn't get to Linlithgow that last time, I'd maybe take something like that although it was a scramble for tickets iirc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trip into the unknown or straightforward one at home. I fancy Wick away With our club being in such an impecunious state we should be hoping for a home tie, no? While it is my understanding that after paying the away team's travel expenses that the remaining gate receipts are divided equally between the two clubs, surely we get to keep any additional money coming in from hospitality packages etc.? Happy to be corrected on this from somebody more knowledgeable on this matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 18 hours ago, Caractacus Potts said: Not sure about settling for where we are but could be worse. Can’t see us doing any business in January unless we can get in loans where we pay no wages. Have to say the confidence of that team being able to pull off the results we failed to do so last season is starting to diminish. The biggest positive from yesterday is that Dunfermline have some bad results in them too. Hoping the bubble will burst for Edinburgh soon but they’re absolutely flying at the moment. It's the reality of where we are in the scheme of things. In the hunt for the play off's but teams now have a handle on how to play us and we don't have the squad quality to mix things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we do have the squad quality to mix things up but, so far, the manager has preferred to go with the same personnel. Hopefully, that will now change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not suggest that we have been found out. Agreed, but the two Kelty defeats don’t reek of outrageously high amounts of good fortune falling on the side of Kelty. It is far more likely that Kelty are the only ones (so far) to figure out how to beat us without it taking amazing tactics to do it. We still have a few players that check out when met with a bit of physical intimidation. It’s a simple but effective way to stop us. Again, we can chuck around stats to make things look bad, or not so bad. For example, go with a “last 7 games”, and stats of W3 D2 L2 giving us 11 points from a possible 21 isn’t great. Or go with “we haven’t been beaten in the league since we last played them” seems more upbeat, and is equally true. The only thing to keep in mind is we have only played 5 games since they last beat us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Watched McGlynns interview again and no doubts he’s really fcked off with how we didn’t start the game until a few minutes after four o’clock on Saturday. Two huge games coming up which will either steer us near to top, or farting around the 4/5 placings. Interesting to see what changes he makes to the starting eleven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
